Fans of director Prashanth Neel were left disappointed as filming for Salaar 2 failed to begin in June as initially planned. Neel had reportedly secured the availability of actors like Prithviraj Sukumaran and Sriya Reddy, but shooting never materialized.
Rumors have swirled about the project’s status. Some reports claim Salaar 2 has been entirely shelved, while others suggest Neel will prioritize scenes involving child actors first due to their growth spurts. These reports further speculate filming with the main cast might not resume until 2025 or 2026.
Despite the media frenzy, Neel has remained silent, offering no official clarification. This silence is characteristic of the director, known for his minimal social media presence and infrequent updates on his projects.
Adding to the confusion, Neel recently announced a new film starring Jr. NTR, with shooting slated for August. However, reports indicate no pre-production work has begun on this project either.
With a lack of official statements, fans are left to navigate a sea of speculation. The future of Salaar 2 remains uncertain, while Neel embarks on a new cinematic venture.
